All of the components we are intending to use going forward are now working in 1.6.  We still need to test them thoroughly since there is a lot of new/modified code here.


Also we need to develop a conversion program to migrate the existing sites onto the new version.  This will be a fairly complicated process.

NOTE:  There are a number of admin features that don't work with IE 9.  This is not a function of 1.5.  If you click the "Compatibility View" button in IE 9, then it works ok.
